Want to help, but you aren't sure where to start? Want to speak out, but don't want to waste your time shouting into the crowd? We can help.
When there is an imminent threat to the variety and supply of affordable homes on the market--such as a cut in a critical program--or a timely opportunity for advancement--such as proposed new legislation--the Housing Alliance will let you know, via an Action Alert. We will identify the required action, (whether it's a letter, fax, phone call or email) and coordinate the responses to achieve the greatest impact.
Action Alerts deliver a specific, actionable request, from a broad-based constituency, directly to policy makers, exactly when they need to hear it.
Alerts are time-sensitive. Check this site regularly for the most recent alerts or--better yet--click at the top of this web page to register with us, and you'll receive alerts automatically via email.
